A summer trip to take care of your health 🍗🐔🐓

Start your day off right with a hearty meal at a famous eel restaurant in Cheongju 🍴. Nothing beats grilled eel for a summer boost of energy 🔥. Charcoal-grilled eel, dipped in a special sauce and wrapped in lettuce, bursts with a rich flavor, instantly relieving your body from the heat 😋💪. After dinner, venture out of downtown Cheongju and visit the Sangni Lotus Village 🌸. The ponds are filled with lotus flowers, a sight only seen in summer, creating a spectacular sight. The water droplets on the green leaves sparkle in the sunlight, creating a truly healing scene ✨. It's also a popular photo spot, perfect for capturing those special moments 📸. Around lunchtime, stop by a nearby rural experience cafe or traditional teahouse to sample drinks made with local specialties 🍵. Cool off with refreshing dishes like patbingsu (shaved ice with red bean paste) or homemade cheong ade for a relaxing afternoon ❄️. In the afternoon, head to Cheongnamdae in Cheongju 🏞️. This former presidential villa boasts expansive lawns, a lake, and forest paths, making it a perfect spot for a refreshing stroll even in summer. 🌳. Enjoying both history and nature at the same time makes for a truly special experience. Returning to downtown Cheongju in the evening and ending the day at a cozy restaurant or cafe makes for a perfect day trip. 🌆 #summertravel #cheongjutravel #domestictravel
